[landy92mack29]

personally think you should have watched a player before making a thread for them but maybe that's just me

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I could very well have misheard, but Moore applied for for exceptional status along with Roobroeck and Misa.

 

[Lavar Ball]

How has he been playing?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Won the MVP at the silver stick.

It’ll be interesting to see if he’ll go the US or OHL.

 

[BKarchitect]

Hmmm...USNTDP next year with Hagens and Eiserman with the 18's and Mooney and Moore with the 17's sounds pretty tasty!

Reminds me of early days Jack Hughes thread on here. A Marlboro who may be eligible for US. At first some thought he was Canadian, then maybe a dual, then not even Canadian at all. Haven’t seen any indications about Moores potential situation. He did attend the last USA 15s camp.

He 100% has US citizenship otherwise he couldn't play in the US player development camps. How he has citizenship I have no idea.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Will be attending the NTDP Camp.

 

[Postulates]

We got our answer he's from Ithaca, New York

Always hilarious when kids who have clearly been growing up in Canada choose the NTDP and they drop the seemingly most random hometowns. Like Thomas Bordeleau hometown of Houston TX lol.

He was born in Houston, Texas so they use birthplace when they grow up elsewhere

Wonder if this will impact where he gets selected in the OHL priority selection? Has he been drafted or tendered by anyone in the USHL yet?

He'll play on the USDTP if he comes to the US since hes a citizen no need to play elsewhere in the USHL. If hes using the US as a smokescreen to avoid some bad teams at the top of the OHL draft like Erie, Niagria he could go anywhere past those clubs

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Will be attending the NTDP Camp.

Update - he did not attend and instead choose to stay for the Toronto Marlboro’s GTHL championship run.

I believe the program may still offer him a spot on his pedigree alone but one begins to wonder how committed he is to the NTDP

If he wasnt considering it he would not waste a camp invite you would think, he still wants to be considered for it but winning your league is probably more important to the Toronto native.

Normally I would agree, but the OHL Cup is the big trophy for 15U kids in Ontario, and Moore's team has already qualified for that. I can't speak to his personal motivations, but winning the league is generally not as important.

His commitment to the NTDP is probably hinging on where he thinks he might go in the OHL draft. If he can work his way to a team of his choosing you never know.

And this is the most likely answer. He did apply for exceptional status last year so we know that the OHL is at the very least a consideration. He probably has a team in mind that he would prefer to play for and is using the NTDP/NCAA route as leverage. If he were truly committed to the NTDP then chasing a youth league title probably would not have mattered all that much especially as Kyle44 said, the real prize for them is the OHL cup and he would have been able to play in that tournament after he attended the NTDP camp.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Was still given an invite to the roster.

 

[austin63867]

Starting to think that it's going to be Schaefer or Martin going 1st at this point potentially

 

[WayneGretzky]

Sounds like Moore is heading to the NTDP

Could be right here. Moore with the NTDP and Roobroeck trying to land in Oshawa with his brother.

Could even happen that Moore gets taken and then traded before the season. Plays with the U17 for a year and comes back for his DY.
